Tint AXBBICAir PLATFORH.
Philadelphia, -Feb, 21.-—The Nation-
al American Council passed this even-
log the platform of principles published
on the 15th inst., in the Washington
Organ, *as a substitute for the Whole
platform established by the June Con-
vention* The vote stood yeas 108, nays
77. Various members from Ohio made
speeches on the subject, some declaring
that the platform was a death blow to
Americanism in Ohio, while others ex«
pressed themselves content, and defend*
ed Mr. Ford, of Ohio, from the charge
of Black Republicanism made by Mr.
Bennett, of New York.
The platform alluded to is as follows :
It An humble acknowledgement to
the Supreme Being who rules the uni-
verse for His protecting care, vouch-
la fed to our fathers in their successful
revolutionary struggle, and hitherto
^Lmsnifbsted to us, their descendants, ^in
' preservation of the liberties, the in-
4«endence, and the union of these
2 The perpetuation of the Federal
Union as the palladium of our civil and
religions liberties, and the only sure
bulwark of American independence.
3. Americans must rule America; and
to this end native born citizens should
be selected for all State, federal and mu-
nicipal offices or government employ-
ment, in preference to naturalized citi-
gens, nevertheless,
4. Persons born of American parents
residing temporarily abroad, should be
•ntitled to all the rights of native born
citiiens; but
5. No person should be selected for
Etlitical station, (whether of native or
reign birth,) who recognizes any alle-
giance or obligation of any description
to-any foreign prince, potentate or pow-
er, or who reiuses to recognise the Fede-
ral and State constitutions (each within
its sphere) as paiamouut to all other
laws, as rules of political action.
9, The unqualified recognition and
maintainance of the reserved rights of
the several States, and the cultivation
of harmony and fraternal good will be-
tween the citizens of the several States,
and to this end, non-interference by
Congress with questions appertaining
solely to the individitol States, and non-
intervention by each átate with the af-
fairs of any other S tato.
7. The recognition of the right of the
Bative-born and naturalized citizens of
the United States, permanently residing
in any Territory thereof, to frame their
constitutions and laws, and to regulate
their domestic and social affairs in their
own mode, subject only to the provi-
visions of the Federal Constitution, with
the right of admission into the Union
whenever they have the requisite popu-
lation for one Representative in Con-
gress, Provided always, that none but
those who are citizens of the United
- States, under the constitutions and laws
thereof, and who have a fixed residence
in any such Territory, pught to partici-
pate in the formation of the constitution,
or in the enactment of laws for 6aid Ter-
ritory or State. . .
8. An enforcement of the principle
that no State or Territory can admit
others than native born citizens to the
right of suffrage, or of holding political
office, unless such persons shall have
been naturalized according to the laws
of the United States.
9. A change in the laws of naturaliza-
on making a continued residence of
twenty one years, of all not heretofore
provided for, an indispensable requisite
or citizenship hereafter, and excluding
all paupers, and persons convicted of
erime, from landing upon our shores ;
bat no interference with tho vested
rights of foreigners.
10. Opposition to any union between
Church and State; no interference with
religious faith or worship, and no test
oaths for office, except those indicated
In the 5th section of this platform.
11. Free and thorough investigation
into any and alleged abuses of public
functionaries, and a strict economy in
public expenditures.
12. The maintenance and enforcement
•f all laws until said laws shall be re-
pealed, orshall be declared null and void
pj competent judicial authority. ^

13. Opposition to the reckless
unwise policy of the present administra-
tion in the general management of our
national affairs, and more especially as
•hown in removing "Americans," (by
designation) and conservatives is prin-
ciple, from office, aud placing foreigners
and uUraists in their places; as shown
in a truckling subserviency to the strong
er, and an insolent and cowardly brava-
do towards the weaker powers; as shown
in re-opening sectional agitation, by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise; as
■hown in granting to unnaturalized for-
eigners the right to suffrage in Kansas
and Nebraska; as shown in its vacilla-
ting course on the Kansas and Nebraska
question; as shown in the removal of
judge Bronson from the Collectorship
of New York upon false and untenable
grounds; as shown in the corruptions
which pervade some of the departments
of the government; as shown in disgrac-
ing meritorious naval officers through
prejudice or capriee; and as shown in
the blundering mismanagement of our
Ibreign relations. .
14. Therefore, to remedy existing
ovils, aud prevent the disastrous conse-
quences otherwise resulting therefrom,
we would build up the " American par-
te • upon the principles herein before
stated, eschewing all sectional questions
sod untiring those purely national, and
admitting into said party all American
eitixens, (referred to in the third, fourth
and fifth sections,) who openly avow the
principles and opinions heretofore ex^
pressed, and who will subscribe their
names to this platform. Provided,
nevertheless, that a majority of those
members present at any meeting of a
local counoil where an applicant applies
for membership in the American party
may, for any reason by them deemed
sufficient, deny admission to such ap-

'•THE HYGIENIC PANACEA"
Is doubtless one of tlie most valuable discoveries to
afflicted humanity that has been produced in the pre-
sent century, and one that renders Mercurial Cathartics
entirely useless, as it will, in nearly every species of
disease, operate as effectually upon the biliary organs.
The inventor has, for many years, used the Hygienic
Panacea :n private aud hospital practice, and "it will
be found an invaluable remedy in the cure of Dyspepsia.
Costiveness, Intermittent and Remittent Fevers, De-
ranged Stom&ch, Affections of the Lungs, Bronchitis.
Asthma, Liver Complaint. Diseasesed Kidneys, Coughs,
Colds, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Palpitation of the
Heart, Heartburn. Headache, Giddiness, Spams, Ner-
vousness, and all diseases arising from an impure state
of tiie blood, exposoure, and Derangement ol the Or
gans of the Chest and Stomach.
IT NEVER FAILS TO EFFECT A CURE.
Without attemping to picture the evil effects daily
caused and entailed on the human family by the use of
Mercury, which the physician in prescribing knows 10
be a cure but little preferable to the disease, a prepara-
tion wholesome, harmless and equally efficacious will
be received as a blessing to many a poor sufferer. The
deleterious effects of tlie subtle drugs which too many
use to the destructions of health an<i hap iness may be
eradicated oy tho use of a few bottles of the Hygienic
i añacea and thousands for whom life presents no lon-
ger any charms, may be relieved of their despondency
aud restored to robust health by it in a few weeks.
Retail ju ice 50 cents per small bottle, and $1 per large.

MAGIC CORN & COB MILL-
IN the construction oftlie Magic Mill, the object ol
the patentee has been to combine strengh and dura-
bility, with convenience and simplicity, all of which
has been fully accomplished. This mill, of very recent
inveution, possesses advantages over any or all of its
predecessors for the grinding of corn and cobs for the
feeding of all kinds of stock. Ill point of simplicity,
durability and ease of operation, it is uncqnaled—re-
qui-ing less power to operate it than any other mill
of equal capacity, one horse only being required to
work tlie largest size.
This mill is also well adapted for grinding meal for
family use.
The capacity of the Magic Mill depends, in a measure,
on the kind and on the qualify of the material to be
ground.
